I am quiet as a cricket while I work, however I always have music playing...
The music (& the volume of) always depends on the project at hand.

One girl who I worked with saw I was very noisy.
I often make mouthmixes between Bob McFerrin and Zappa.
Bass lines are my preferred as I pee.
Vibrato and arpegeous at bath, certainly.
Driving I can also reach Beatles multiplicity of sounds.
Well, most of my work is Pink Floy driven. I just feeel sad cause my clients don't care about this.

I like to knock my fee on the desk base and on the floor

..too frquently I open ReBirth, knock out a cheesy electro beat, wack up the feedback on the delay, full snap on the 808 snare, a touch of 'shape' distortion on the 808, descending into full on 4/4 909 kick drum madness.
Usually takes about 3 minutes.
Then I'm alright.Damn coffee.
Damn Marcus Zetterquist.

I have 2 specialities.
That rolf Harris water dripping effect, but that requires one hand free to flick my cheek, so its a rare one. Buts is gold.
More commonly heard is my inward kissing noise, the one you get with the 'show help' dialogue boxes.
If the project isnt taxing, Ill sing along to anything, I might even try out a accompanying harmony thats very hit and miss though
I'm also a table tapper.
I do it all !

haha stewart.. translating songs is what i do too.
found myself singing :
"der zit iets in de lucht in.. hollywood"on the new madonna song =)
- stewart0
yeah mennik - i think all dutch speaking officepeople do have this illness of singing along english songs in dutch...
i'm so sorry for all the people only speaking english, it is really funny.
